- Seanad: Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Second Stage (Resumed). (13 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I welcome the Minister to the debate on this important Bill which deals specifically with waste management, an issue of serious concern to local authorities and councillors. I join other Members who have spoken out against the position the Minister has taken of withdrawing the rights of councillors to control waste management in their areas and giving the responsibility to county managers....
- Seanad: Unclaimed Life Assurance Policies Bill 2002: Second Stage. (12 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I welcome the Minister of State. This Bill is receiving wide acceptance as it is seen as putting money to good use that would otherwise be lying dormant. I agree that we must ensure people are informed of their accounts. How this is best done is critical. It is not sufficient to put notices in newspapers a couple of times a year. There will be a strong onus on the State to inform people that...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (11 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I ask the Leader to again invite the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform to come before the House to listen to a debate on the ongoing level of crime on our streets. I raise this issue today following an interview on the Marian Finucane show this morning, which some Members may have heard. If they did, I expect that â as in my case â it brought tears to their eyes to listen to...
- Seanad: Order of Business. (6 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I also support my colleague, Senator Brian Hayes, in requesting the Leader to ask the Minister for Education and Science to explain to the House how he intends to resolve the dispute between the school attendance officers and his Department. This issue is having an effect on our streets. I listened to a report on the radio this morning on children as young as 12 years who refuse to go to...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Health Centres. (6 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I wish to discuss the provision of a primary health care centre in Mulhuddart and thank the Minister of State for attending to address the matter. We have spoken about providing such a centre for some time and people living in the area are extremely concerned at the delay in delivering it. It is a priority for the Blanchardstown RAPID team, which is supposed to deliver facilities for the...
- Seanad: Adjournment Matters. - Health Centres. (6 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I am very disappointed with the Minister of State's response. This area has been neglected for years and is being put off again. What is the point of inclusion in the RAPID programme when it has delivered nothing to the area? This is not good news for the people of Mulhuddart. I am annoyed by the response, though obviously it is not the fault of the Minister of State whom I ask to push the...

- Seanad: Immigration Bill 2002: Report Stage. (4 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I move amendment No. 1: In page 3, line 12, to delete '"carrier"' and substitute '"carriers of passengers"'. I ask for the Minister's advice on this matter. As the Bill stands, I understand it will apply to those who carry goods as well as passengers. Carriers of goods who unknowingly or unwittingly carry passengers are already covered by the Illegal Immigrants (Trafficking) Act, 2000 which...

- Seanad: Immigration Bill 2002: Report Stage. (4 Feb 2003)
Sheila Terry: I move amendment No. 4: In page 5, line 17, to delete "may from time to time" and substitute "shall". Having raised this matter with the Minister at an earlier meeting, I am now asking him to tighten up the provision thus making it imperative that guidelines would be drawn up. Section 2(8) should state "the Minister shall draw up and publish guidelines .". If we leave it as suggested, that...

- Seanad: Immigration Bill 2002: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage. (4 Feb 2003)
